18 districts claim to suspend top four officials in an EGM

The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) today sank deeper into legal tangles as 18 of the 33 District Cricket Associations claimed that they have suspended President Lalit Modi and other top three officials in an EGM.
The secretary of the Jhunjhunu District Association said that since the elections were called off with "malafide intentions" we decided to call an EGM and suspended the top four officials.
The other 'suspended' were deputy president Mehmood Abdi, secretary Sumendra Tiwari and treasurer Pawan Goyal.
Rathore claimed that the EGM had 18 districts present while 10 others had extended their support.
"We have the majority and Modi faction has been reduced to only five supporters. We would move the court as the election procedure once started can't be stopped. We would continue with the election process and if Lodha Committee objects we would ratify in accordance with it," said Rathore.

The rebel group has announced that they would constitute a five member committee with Rajendra Singh Rathore as its chairman and this committee would be looking after affairs of RCA.

The Lalit Modi faction had called off the elections slated for April 26 on legal grounds, saying that the provisions of Sports Act and Lodha Committee recommendations were not in conformity and Registrar had refused to ratify the proposed amendments in the constitution of RCA.
But the C P Joshi faction had cried foul, claiming that they were having the clear-cut majority and that was why the Modi faction had called off the elections. Citing legal angle.

The hue and cry was over Ruchir Modi, the 22-year-old son of former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi who was trying to rule RCA through him. The Modi faction was busy preparing ground for Ruchir by helping him to the post of president of Alwar District Cricket Association.
The move did not go down well with the majority of districts because they felt Ruchir would be of no help until Lalit Modi is removed from post of President of Nagaur District Association.
The BCCI had suspended RCA stating that Lalit Modi, who has been for life by the Board, should be removed from RCA and also the primary bodies.
